k im set on having one, i had some time to kill yesterday so fab this up real quick, i know its ugly but u get the idea. because bends are tight im close to fire wall and a metal ac line. how can i bend the ac line out of the way, how close can it be? would heat wrap help?

Bobcat698

If you are going to turn your truck non-street legal, why have AC?

mainer

why not just go straight up

bobcat698, it is still leg. their is no law saying u cant only thing u can be sited for is th pipe i mount to the hood for obsruc of view. mainer, i would but with stock turbo u cant sits to far back

Bobcat698

I believe the law states that the exhaust must exit behind the cab.

OK, 1st, please use a complete sentence, it make reading things a whole lot easier!

2nd, have you read the laws carefully?? Most laws regarding exhaust state that they must exit behind the passenger compartment...I know Ohio, and most other Midwestern states are this way. That's why Garrett said it wouldn't be street legal...I'll bet he's checked into it in his state


BTW, smooth bends flow a lot better!

That is right for Ohio, I would check the laws in your state more closely before you start a mod like this....

I agree that it would not be legal, but onl if you get caught. Just a thought on pipe routing, why not mount the turbo back wards? the in take tube will bend around an their would only be one 90 on the pipe, as lor the intercooler pipe just extend it to meet upto the stock one. And Yes i thought about it before. as for garret if the class would alow it he would have one.

just flip your turbo upside down and put the intake where the downpipe was and make a longer intercooler tube and just go straight up thats what one of my buddies did with his hx-40 im not sure how they did the oil lines i haven't looked at it that hard....... but if ur going to drive it everyday i would advise aginst stacking out of the hood if your truck smokes you cant go over 30 with your window down and your a pillar is always black

my dad is a state police officer for new mexico, and i have a copy of the " New Mexico Criminal and Traffic Laws Manual". i have the okay he said only the that could come up is obstruction of view. because of the chrome stack that will be mounted to the hood. i thought the same on smooth bends but no one has been able to do it for me cause its so tight, so i rigged this up. fig for 30psi should be fine. im going to run with out the hood for a while to see what happens.

federal overrides state...check out item letter 'e' and 'g'...

***note: not sure if its focus is on semi's but i cant imagine the rules being easier on passenger vehicles

Laws, laws.

I want one and a spare hood.then for the truck pulls it would be awsome. the stack woud have to go as hi as the roof though!maybe even taller!
Crome 6 in 4 foot up out the hood i an see it now! winning the truck pull. on the front page of the local paper! OH YEA!

for the road give me quiet POWER!

pmtg

and dont get me wrong, im not saying you cant do what you want, but make sure you read and understand all of the federal laws as well so you know what you may be getting into. that way, you wont find yourself regretting cutting a hole in your hood and finding out its illegal and now are out the expensive of fixing/replacing it.

there's a local truck around here that gets driven on the street with a crome 6" sticking out of the hood. Looks Tuff.

Mike, what diameter is that?

You just need a couple of short radius Sch 10 90s trimmed to the exact # of degrees and properly clocked - we've made a bunch of those in 304SS... TIG'd, of course!
